"Push-ups are fine and all, but...do you even lift, bro?" read a part of the detailed caption posted alongside the video on Instagram by the National Park Service.

In a detailed caption, the National Park Service explained that several lizard species in USA's Zion National Park perform ‘push-ups’ to show their strength, establish territory, and attract a mate. They also added how the lizards do the ‘push-ups’ by “elevating the head and upper body in vigorous up-and-down motions.” Then they wittily added, “Feel the burn yet?”

"Oh you mean bench pressing the earth," posted an individual. "I always thought this was some depth perception movement. Cute as heck!" shared another. "This is awesome," expressed a third.
